BO is the new JFK!! – Redux – and again.

First Post (UK) has an interesting picture of BO in the oval office.

twopics

Apparently, Sasha was trying to “sneak up” on her dad as he was working. Are you kidding me?

I can imagine the thinking that went into this picture.

1) It’s just so darn cute!!

2) Just like JFK and his son!!!!

3) We can release this when BO needs to look more warm and fuzzy.

I’m guessing Sasha is too big to fit under the desk (she’s older than John-John) or someone might have actually tried to stage the picture that way. Feh. BO’s staff has Kennedyized this guy from the start. Remember the earlier picture?

bojfk

Whether staged or just a “lucky coincidence,” the BO campaign certainly liked that the picture evoked this:

jfkportrait

Now, for people steeped in politics and political history, this is no accident. These pictures are, at worst, staged to evoke JFK and, at best, not staged, but gleefully used to evoke JFK. Why? Actually, I don’t know. BO has been positioned as the new and better ever since he announced. So, why the need to Kennedyize him?

Maybe with Ted Kennedy now passed away, BO can completely appropriate the “Kennedy myth”? Whatever the truth, I just think this type of “see, he’s just like JFK”-hamfisted-political-trowel-wielding-public-image-shaping stuff is beyond fail.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if Barack Obama revealed who he was/is as a man, a leader and what “his vision” and own individual image was rather than borrowing from the past? He’s not Lincoln, damn it! He’s not FDR nor JFK. And despite what Chris Matthews spews, he is not the last Kennedy brother. They’re all dead now. And there’s no number of “cute” photos and poses that will convince me otherwise.

    He’s the blank slate and it’s up to him to fill the void, not steal from the past. Because you either stand for something, or you stand for nothing at all.

    I’m weary of the guessing game, the vague speeches and comparisons to what’s come before. I’m tired of the press, both domestic and foreign, trying to impose the ghost of whoever on Barack Obama.

    Will the real Barack Obama please stand up! Or get out of the way.

    I suspect this not very subtle, image twisting will continue throughout the next 3+ years. Because 7 months in, he’s still a cipher.

    Personally, I’m sick of it.

  • Peggy Sue

    Had another spam gobble, Lisa. Retrieve if you can. I’m sending an email.

    President Kennedy hated Communism. Obama is a communist. No comparison at all, no way, never.

  • Katmoon

    Arabella, you are killing me!!! ROfl.
    I know this was not directed at me, but,in the past I have used the word “folks” in posts, honestly not meaning to be insulting in any way; our family had a lot of older people using the word, and in referring to their neighbor-the folks in the green house on the corner….. However when I say “those” people, I am being condescending.

  • Arabella Trefoil

    I wish the Obamas would leave their daughters out of all this. I would not be at all surprised if Michelle got pregant again, just to provide more photo ops.

  • sheprez

    So, what’s next? Marilin Monroe?

  • Frikken’s Lunch Box

    Look closely at the desk photos…JFK actually looks like he is working at this desk, papers and things piled around. BO not so much. Not even a laptop. Probably can’t use one.

  • Arabella Trefoil

    Don’t give Madonna any ideas.

  • carolhaka

    Maybe Obama really doesn’t know about all of his creeping friends if he isn’t bright enough to know that his daughter is slithering around the couch and oh yeah, there is a photographer in the room taking the photo ……………

    And truthfully, the poor young girl is too old and too tall for such antics. It looks like they used a fish eye lens and just about dropped the couch on the poor kid to get the photo they wanted.

  • oowawa

    Excellent comment, Peggy Sue.

    And LisaB, I’m shocked that you are suggesting that perhaps these pictures were staged to identify O with JFK! The next thing you know, you’ll be suggesting that all of those pictures and drawings of Thee One clearly showing His inner radiance and halo are merely staged to identify Him with Jesus Christ! I’m sure that the O campaign would never intentionally do this; it would be sacrilege! (It would also be very corny and pretentious beyond words.)

  • Arabella Trefoil

    Michelle sneaking up on him would have made more sense.

  • oowawa

    Well, JFK died on November 22, 1963, and BHO was born on August 4, 1961. These dates seem to at first conflict with what is a very attractive and persuasive theory (seen here for the first time): Barack Hussein Obama is indeed the reincarnation of John Fitzgerald Kennedy! The 2 year overlap between JFK’s death and O’s birth can be explained by a simple universal ancient metaphysical truth: in the realm outside of time, time does not apply. And so, the pictures reproduced at the top of this page are hardly accidents, but convincing revelations of profound Truth! Thee One is not only the last surviving Kennedy brother, as Chris Matthews so wisely observed, but is IN FACT the reincarnated spirit of JFK!

  • oowawa

    Well, the picture of Sasha peering out to the upper right from behind the couch reminded me of something, and I finally realized that it was Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting “Christina’s World.”

    http://filelibrary.myaasite.com/Content/3/3414/30206065.jpg

    It’s an artful variation on a very familiar theme: a happy accident, or did the photographer know exactly what he was doing? Let’s call the photo “Sasha’s World.”

  • Tammy

    Actually, she’s the queen of all things elitist.

    I can’t believe anyone reads the drivel she scribbles.

  • Tammy

    Did you know that Obama’s White House photographer was also REAGAN’s photographer?

    I guess this guy’s got his work cut out for him. He’s got to make BO look as if he cares. Tough job.

  • Tammy

    Nice, catch, oowawa!

    But wasn’t Christina looking at a house?

  • Ferd Berfle

    Good work, LisaB, in digging up these “coincidences”. The sycophants must be working overtime to prop up this dud.

  • donjo

    Notice how clean, shiny, and unused his desk looks?

  • oowawa

    House (home), POTUS (home in White House), does it make any difference in the composition? It’s something faroff and hard to reach, elevated upon a lofty eminence, and so on . . . The girl feels . . . well, that’s the mystery of the painting . . .

    Yeah–I think the photographer had set this up carefully.

I dunno Ferd, I had my heart set on Ann Coulter–but picturing both Madonna & Ann in shiny black leather–well, double your pain, double your fun–couldn’t we please have 2 Damage Control Czarinas??? Some of those administration folks (sorry, Arabella) have been awfully naughty, and I think they could use a double dose of discipline . . .

  • extexasdem

    That’s the only work he has ever done…pretend.

  • Pennsylvania Caucasian

    If her feet were on the floor naturally behind her, they would have looked huge due to the camera angle.

    To me what’s really disconcerting is that the pose is reminiscent of the woman in the field in Andrew Wyeth’s painting: Christina’s World.

    And Wyeth was lionized by the Kennedys, invited to the White House, etc. But I don’t think the Christina pose was planned due to the negative connotations.

  • sowsear

    Arabella and Ferd
    You’re killing me!
    I’d love to see that picture. Wonder if the Bozos would even then realize they were being snuckered.

  • http://firefox Martha Washington Collier

    I believe we can explain this quite easily. One of 0zer0′s science czars has said that life is not viable until a child (don’t know if he said fetus) is 2 years old, has a personality and is socialized. So see, when 0zer0 became 2, JFK died and his soul entered 0zer0′s body.

  • sowsear

    I just read something yesterday saying that MO is desperately trying to get pregnant so she can have a baby in the WH like Jackie. I can believe that, even if she has to have fertility treatments. Think what a cunning PR trick a new baby would be.

  • http://firefox Martha Washington Collier

    Actually, not sure if he used the word “viable” but the message is that you’re not valuable and a person until age 2.

  • Ferd Berfle

    double your pain, double your fun

    ROFL.

    Sort of twisted “Doublemint Gum” commercial?

  • Pennsylvania Caucasian

    I posted above the similarity of the pose, hadn’t read downthread yet.

    I don’t think the photog planned the pose this way because Christina was lame, she could not walk.

    If he did, knowing that reference, now THAT is creepy.

  • http://firefox Martha Washington Collier

    Thank God for small favors.

  • http://firefox Martha Washington Collier

    that life is not viable until a child (don’t know if he said fetus)

    Sorry, badly phrased…but the message was that life not valuable until child is 2 years old and socialized. I wondered when I heard this if he has ever been around babies at all.

  • sowsear

    Yes, when the MSM pokes fun of us for not wanting Indoctrination 101, they say he’s not the first President to speak to the children. What they forget is, he is the first to send leasson plans, and the lesson plans are meant to teach the little ones about the Great One.

  • http://firefox Martha Washington Collier

    MEchille in black lace mantilla, rosary, Sasha saluting her Daddy.

    Those poor kids. What a shame they’ll never know what’s real and what isn’t.

    Love the pic of JFK with the stack of files on his desk; 0zer0′s desk looks like someone who pushes papers around trying to “make work”. Of course, he doesn’t do anything until Soros and Rahm tell him to and what to sign. No need to study files.

  • oowawa

    No use, Katmoon. Trying to get the Almighty Spam Filter to boogie on down will not get you any special privileges. He disdains our pitiful human dance moves!

    JFK actually looks like he is working at this desk, papers and things piled around. BO not so much. Not even a laptop

    There is only one thing that belongs on Thee One’s desktop: the reflected image of Thee One Himself. In order for that divine image to appear, the desktop must be free of work and other silly objects and polished to a mirror sheen. It’s appropriate to have an overhead light placed so that a halo appears above the reflected image.

    Now He’s ready to concentrate on what’s really important . . .

    I knew there had to be a perfectly logical scientific explanation of how JFK could be reincarnated into BHO’s body two years before he actually died. Thanks, Martha.

    One more birth mystery solved!

  • sowsear

    I’m sure he would have one of his lackeys call her with some “general questions”. That way he’s still O-The Omnipotent!

  • oowawa

    Well Pennsylvania Caucasian, sometimes I think I’m imagining things, but the fact that we both independently noticed the same similarity indicates that this really is a valid observation. I didn’t know about Wyeth’s association with the Kennedy’s.

    I don’t think that the fact that the historical Christina was a lame older woman is really relevant, however. The painting has taken on a life of its own apart from the original model, and the world generally sees the painted figure as a young woman–an enigma. I don’t think that the historical facts behind the model would influence the photographer.

    Obama can try however he may, but he’ll never be anything more than the “GREAT WANNABE”. A contrived picture can only create a contrived image. If his handlers seriously think that these phoney moments will somehow change this loser’s public image freefall, then they are mistaken. The more one gets to know Obama, the more one realizes that something is seriously wrong with his governance.

    This message is to the Democratic party: It’s his policies stupid!

  • oowawa

    Yes donjo, it’s so Thee One can look down at the shiny reflective desk surface and say “All the better to see you with, my dear!” or is it “Mirror Mirror on the Wall”; or is it “I feel pretty! It’s alarming how charming I feel!”; or is it “You talking to me? You talking to me? Well I’m the only one here! . . .” Or maybe it’s “Ask not what your country can do for you . . . “

  • oowawa

    Yes sowsear–I’m sure the transcript of his speech will be very benign and innocuous: “Nothing to see here! Move on!” But all the Great Scamming Salesman wants to do at this point is get his foot in the door and set a little precedent . . .

  • Nellie

    Michelle did that when they visited the Pope.

    M.O. dressed exactly like Jackie K did for the funeral entourage of JFK in 1963 for Gawds sake.

    Poor pope Benedict must have thought she borrowed her mother’s clothes from that era.

  • Nellie

    That is the epitome of crass.

    Jackie was pregnant with child #3 during the campaign. His name was Patrick and he died shortly after birth.

    How crude can you get to insult the Kennedy’s with another heartache?

  • TeakWoodKite

    Have any of you seen the Life Magazine of MO Wall to Wall?

    The “magazine” is almost hard bound and half of an inch thick full of color glossy photos that would make Officer Obie choke.

    I should never go to the supermarket hungry but after looking at that I completely lost my appetite. In fact I felt quite like vomiting.

    Greay photograpy, dismal subject.

    LisaB, you notice the pose has opposite hands tucked? Is this code?

  • I’m a Linda too

    Oh, ok, excuse me while I go toss. bbl

  • Marge

    Yes, that black veil and all black outfit looked like a fancy Mafia funeral.
    And then, the weird outfit she wore to meet the Queen, the lack of a curtsey, pushing Prince Phillip out of the way to stand beside the Queen, and giving her an I-pod with his most famous speeches – plus giving the Prime Minster a DVD collection he couldn’t play – or turning down a dinner with the Sarkozys – the Obamas’ have real class!

    Yeah, Kennedy was a liberal Democrat and Obama, well..there are some things you just can’t PhotoShop in.

  • Lynn L.

    Frikken, good observation of the desks – one is heavily laden with responsibilities and the other is empty, bare and vacant. I’ve been around politics long enough to have voted in 12 presidential elections, and until 2008, always for the Democratic candidate. JFK as well as LBJ, and I’m willing to step out in faith for others I think worked overtime hours in that office: Nixon, Ford, Carter, H.W. Bush, and Bill, certainly Bill, always Bill. What some of these presidents labored over may not necessarily have been to our liking, but I believe they worked long, arduous hours nonetheless. My guess is that BHO has been at that historical desk in that historical room a couple of times: once on January 21st and again when this silly, inappropriate photo was staged. Are there any similarities to the black and white of JFK and JFK, Jr.? . … Um, let me think … oh yes … the room and the desk. John Kennedy, Jr. was a “cute as a button” TWO YEAR OLD toddler; Shasha Obama is an 8 year old rapidly approaching pre-adolescence and having been that age once, I know how quickly a little girl can grow from cute to gangly and not precious. W.H. photographers hear the clock tick, tick, ticking away on the cuteness potent and must try to make up for the time they lost forever when she was 4 or 5. This photo is sad and unfortunate for Shasha.

    Well Teak, I’m so glad you brought this up. My theory is that Thee One was looking at the JFK painting while practicing the pose in the mirror, and simply got confused. Funny also how even the hairlines are virtually identical.

  • ConfusedAmerican

    Just my thoughts exactly LOL

  • Dutch

    Jackie Kennedy lost baby Patrick in 1963 – during the presidency. John Jr. was born in November 1960 – just after Election Day.

  • sowsear

    Obama likes to hide his left hand. I remember during the primaries, he deigned to shake hands with Hill, and he had his left hand in his pant’s pocket. From that I guessed he was not a gentleman, nor an honest one.

    When I googled trying to find the hand in pocket hand shake, I found this site:

    http://pdc-psyche.net/obama.htm

    Could be a bunch of malarkey, but one thing I saw which intrigued me was a picture of the “callouses” under the base of three of his right hand fingers. Couldn’t be from work?? What could they be?

  • avwrobel

    You can see JFK suppressing a smile to show he realizes the whole photo-op is a light-hearted thing. But to Obambi his staged scenes are serious, historic business. We just have to keep fighting through the p.r. blitz by the MSM and keep reminding all what a fraud this administration is.

  • avwrobel

    Yeah, these are confusing days! The Repubs were so bad for 14 years that its kind of disorienting to see Noonan, Krauthammer, Beck, etc speak some true things about the Democrats. Their credibility is so battered, but they get some things right.

  • Joy

    I get that you hate Obama and what think he is doing to this country but the comments about Michelle wearing a lace mantilla and carrying a rosary with Sasha saluting is way out of bounds.

    Interesting and true.

  • TeakWoodKite

  • Peggy Sue

    Believe it or not, they did that FDR/Obama pose with the vintage hat and cigarette holder for one of the “news” [I use the term loosely]magazine covers. Probably Time. I think Time has run over a half-dozen Obama covers.

  • OxyCon

    JFK never went around the world badmouthing America and if I remember correctly he ordered the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, whilst Obama is easing restrictions on Cuba.

    Lastly, the mere fact that Obama himself always has to say he’s just like Lincoln, or Roosevelt or Kennedy means that what he really is, is a big fat 0. Maybe that was the true meaning of his campaign propaganda… Obama the big fat ZERO.

  • Joy

    I don’t find allusions to a presidential assignation as “quite mild” and neither should anyone.

  • AF catfish

    Wow, it was released by the White House Aug 11. Interesting the other press didn’t pick it up – they probably sensed how obviously staged it was.

    The release of the candid snap is “neat timing” according to one Washington observer: it comes as America mourns JFK’s brother Ted and as the Obamas seek to re-establish the feel-good mood that accompanied their arrival at the White House in January, but which has all but disappeared in recent months.

  • wbboei

    It is AOL Time/Life Warner. They were among his biggest campaign contributors. They have a sweetheart deal with the White House similar to what GE has. They support him for that reason. And they are trembling in their boots now because he is screwing up and tanking. Take a look at the article on Obama at Common Dreams.org, written by a Professor of Political Science at Hofstra attacking Obama very hard from the left.

  • Arabella Trefoil

    Joy, Jaquie wore a matilla every Sunday when she went to mass. Back in those days, Catholic women had to cover their heads when they entered a Catholic church. Men had to uncover their heads.

    The Kennedy family was the first Catholic family in the White House, and that was a very big deal. People wondered how Jacquie would handle herself as the first Catholic First Lady. She did just fine, bringing elegance and style to everything she did. The lace mantillas were part of Jacquie’s bowing to tradition (covered head in church) while remaining chic. No dowdy Mamie Eisenhower hat for her on Sundays.

    So when people refer to mantillas or rosaries, this has nothing to do with anything other than Catholic worship as practiced every day.

  • Arabella Trefoil

    Obama may have clubbing of the fingers or even Dupuytren’s contracture as a result of cigarette smoking. He looks cyanotic to me:

    Dupuytren’s contracture is a hereditary thickening of the tough tissue called fascia that lies just below the skin of your palm. This condition may vary from small lumps or bands to very thick bands which may eventually pull the fingers into the palm. Dupuytren’s disease is familial, and may be associated with cigarette smoking, vascular disease, epilepsy, and diabetes.

    I tried to reply but got recycled for reasons unknown. Sorry beebop. I’ll just say that my dig was not intended at Marilyn but at this version of Camelot, which apparently comes out of a Dostoyevsky or Camus novel.

  • Ferd Berfle

    Your brethren, hope, change, dopey, cheesy, nasty, and Quack are out in the hall awaiting your presence. They’re ready to go to lala land and want you to accompany them.

    Buh-bye.

    Isn’t it interesting that he smokes? To liberals people who smoke are like Lucifer, but we don’t see any negative coverage about Obama’s smoking.

  • Sassy

    Good grief y’all!
    The similarities are astounding…young, handsome family man…lovely, gracious lady of the manor…oh, the hope and grand visions for the future!
    Sure takes me back to the Camelot dream!

    Love the comment! Laughed out loud and spit the coffee!

    Perhaps that isn’t really tobacco he’s smoking.

    JFK’s desk was cluttered, a president at work. There’s nothing on Obama’s desk, empty like his rhetoric. He’s all image, no substance. The first postmodern president.

  • Five Thirty

    IMO, politically speaking, the image-making attempt is for Obama to become as popular and highly regarded as JFK. The *function* however of Obama for the Democrats is meant as counter-Reagan. Since the Democratic Party is not naturally as authoritarian (& ruthless) as Republicans are (though can be equally doctrinaire), I don’t think they can bring it off. Plus, I don’t think Obama has genuine charisma (though I didn’t think Reagan did either….fwiw).

    Ali-Bama is no John kennedy (he must be turning in his grave)
    and Muchelle…is no Jackie…

    Anyone who buys into the Kennedy/Obama comparison/analogy is living in a world made up of their own illusionary form of reality..
    which of course has nothing to do with/ and is totally divorced from…..actual reality.
    And these freaks are trying to lead this country into a bottomless abyss…F$$K THEM!

    Martha,

    Dont you know that you are not allowed to invoke the image of JFK Jr saluting JFK because that occurred at JFK’s funeral. By recalling that photo you are inferring that you would like to see BO assassinated as well. The Secret Service will be knocking at your door any minute now to toss you in the Gulag…

  • Docelder

    If the sneaking child looks authentic, it looks differently once you figure there was a cameraman walking behind the child… probably followed by the secret service people. So the picture implies dear leader can get lost in his work, with a child sneaking, a cameraman taking pictures and the secret service following along. Plausible? Just more kabuki theater for the sheeple.

    Joy, this is more sickening. Because it’s real. And bogus. And just plain f—ed up. The Obama Show.

    … and the “salute” Sasha, or anyone, should ALWAYS give to the Teleprompter Maestro. For chrrisake, show a little respect to The Won®:

    Probably just the title page of the Democrats health bill as it is highly unlikely that 0zer0 would bother himself by reading the 1,000+ pages.

    JFK’s father was a very successful Hollywood producer. A famous quote of his was, when JFK was a senatorial candidate, “We’re going to sell Jack like soap flakes”. Joe Kennedy was a master when it came to marketing his handsome family, and he seems most responsible for establishing the Kennedy aura.

    In light of this, the picture of John under the desk was surely staged. It became an iconic image, which is a fact obviously not lost on this administration.

    The difference today is news media is so utterly ubiquitous. This, combined with it’s general willingness and desire to help burnish a positive image of BHO (like they did with JFK — which is the main similarity between the two), is causing a problem of POTUS OVERDOSE. And we’re only 7 months into his term! Many of us are already approaching the need for detoxification.

  • Tricia Spiegel

    John Kennedy was an exciting figure but hardly a great President. I think BO will end up in history books the same way. Still, BO is no JFK.

  • http://firefox Martha Washington Collier

    I do as well. Usually the finger to the side of the nose Obama salute.

  • Mountainaires

    Haven’t seen Bo the dog in a while. Was he dumped under the bus already?

  • Park Slope Pubby

    I feel sorry for both girls. The oldest one look angry, and is always wearing sunglasses. I think she is hitting adolescence w/ parents who have used her primarily as a prop, and she’s headed for psycological trouble. The second one is putting on a lot of weight since he became a public figure–getting worse in the White House.

    I just think that they are a) unloved and b) exposed to publicity that even a grown up couldn’t handle. Whatever you can say about the Kennedys, I think Jackie loved her children.

    I hope they largely disappear from public view, for their own sake. And I hope Michelle starts concentrating on them. (I think he’s far too narcistic to ever be a good father.) I know that Michelle moved her mother into the White House to raise them, but that doesn’t make up for neglectful parents.

    I know girls who have been raised by selfish mothers who always put their careers first, and the girls suffer very very badly.

    At least Kennedy’s desk has papers on it. Obama’s desk has nuttin except a few papers. It’s sooo staged.

  • CB

    How convenient that a photographer was there. Wouldn’t the child have sensed someone coming up behind? Tell me this isn’t staged like the series of fainting maidens in the first row at the rallies that Obama always saved with his bottle of water under the lectern.

  • Judith

    My Gawd, that is funnee!! I can’t stop laughing. If only the poor sap didn’t really believe he is any of those elected officials but then he thinks he’s the second coming of Jesus the Christ. What a pathological narcissist sp/

  • Judith

    That is a regional New England dialect, idear and Cuber being two standouts.

  • goldengrahme

    Oh, lighten up Joy. Any one can see Obama is surrounded by a Hollywood production crew.

    His resume? “Have teleprompter, will travel.”

    His agenda? Where ever the flo, I go.

    His credentials? Tall, skinny, student of The Theater of the Absurd, a good footsoldier for our burgeoning kleptocracy.

    His economic advisory board? Devotees of Madison Avenue Marketing 101. (All an illusion in high D.)

  • Chicago

    it’s totally ludicrous to say that BO is the new JFK! JFK is turning in his grave!

    JFK is a strong capitalist advocate (whether liberals like that or not, it is a fact) who came from a family that benefitted from capitalism and thus championed free enterprise in America. JFK cut taxes and strengthened businesses. JFK, through Bobby K, fought the unions and specifically fought the mob influnence within the unions that threatened businesses and thus threatened the economy. BO on the other hand uses unions as his very own SS corps to intimidate those who oppose him.

    JFK served in the miiltary honorably, BO consorted with terrorists and blamed the US for just about all problems in the world.

    one is a leader that fought for its freedom, exalted its ideals, and spearheaded the country into the space age with pride. the other is a manufactured personality molded by communists and terrorists, and is attempting to undermine the country’s future by destroying the very foundations that gave the country its strength.

    stating that BO is the new JFK is not only way off the mark, it’s the ultimate insult to what JFK stood for and what he died for!

    BO is no JFK. BO is a socialist/commie that is hell bent on destroying capitalism and bussinesses.

    them rose colored glasses really is clouding the minds of many in the liberalism fold with their love affair with a poser and the ultimate manchurian candidate.

  • Thinker

    This is beyond contrived and pathetic.

    Seriously Obama??

    How fake can Barry/Barack/Obama/Soetoro get??

    my goodness.

    This man is such a joke. He doesn’t have an original bone in his body. He’s posing like JFK, and Michelle is trying to look like Jackie.

    Now the daughter is crawling on the floor trying to be like JFK jr?? How much you want to bet Axelrod told her to get on the floor to surprise Daddy, of course she doesn’t know she’s being used, but Obama goes along with it like the loser that he is.

    Why doesn’t his sorry ass try to copy Bill Clinton’s balanced budget?

    smh at this clown. Dude STAYS posing for pictures, PRETENDING like he’s doing some real work.

    You guys and gals are on a roll. I’m laughing so hard.

    lol @ Obama only reading the title page.

  • Thinker

    Maybe one of Obama’s czars can hire a lawyer to represent the dog in court for alienation of affection.

  • Thinker

    I didn’t want to say anything, but I picked up on that as well!!!

    The oldest daughter appears to be suffering from low self-esteem. Hunched shoulders, walking with her head down. My intuition tells me that something is very wrong.
